Silver prices are really hot these days. They've been rising since early last year and reportedly reached $90, and I never thought it would get to this level just six months ago. When I looked into what's driving the increase, it seems that demand for silver is surging in new industries like solar power, electric vehicles, and AI data centers. Supply is limited, but demand keeps growing, so it's only natural that prices are going up.

Looking at the outlook for silver, some analyses suggest the average price this year could be $97, with a potential high of $200. Since it's already exceeded $90, that seems quite feasible. However, with daily volatility over 7%, short-term fluctuations are likely to be intense. For beginner investors, starting with simple products like ETFs or silver accounts might be better, and managing risk by buying in installments near support levels would be wise.

Silver is cheaper than gold, so small investments are possible, and it has real industrial demand, giving it long-term value. When inflation or geopolitical uncertainties increase, it also serves as a safe asset. Of course, due to its high volatility, there are risks, but if you consider your risk tolerance, it could present good opportunities. I’ll keep an eye on the silver market movements these days.
